TomiAhonen
Consulting and Tomi T Ahonen have released the Tomi Ahonen Almanac 2015: Mobile
Telecoms Industry Annual Review, totally updated and revised from the 2016
edition, with all data current to January 1, 2017.

The Tomi Ahonen Almanac 2017
is available only in eBook format and only available from this website the
official TomiAhonen.com website. It is 215 pages in length and intended as a
one-source comprehensive telecoms industry statistical review for the year,
with totally up-to-date numbers, following on Tomi T Ahonen's popular industry
review blogs at the www.communities-dominate.blogs.comblogsite

The Tomi Ahonen Almanac 2017
includes chapters on subscribers, handsets, revenues, messaging, mobile
internet, mobile gaming, television and video for mobile, mobile payments and
money, mobile social networking, and other content types. It includes shorter
discussions of mobile voice, telematics, augmented reality, enterprise/business
and infrastructure aspects of the industry. The Almanac has 108 charts and
tables including statistical data on the 60 major mobile telecoms markets
(country data) and 25 biggest mobile operator groups.

The Tomi Ahonen Almanac 2017 answers
such questions as how many mobile phone handsets have color screens, or are
cameraphones, or have bluetooth or Java/Brew or memory card support. The
handset section includes data on handset form factors, such as by input types,
and a lot of information on smartphones including the market shares of
installed bases as well as new sales, and penetration rates of smartphones
regionally. The Almanac 2017 tells which of the 60 leading countries has
launched 3G, as well as subscriber counts and national penetration rates. For
the major mobile content types such as SMS and MMS messaging, music, gaming,
news, social networking, advertising etc it tells how many users there are
worldwide, what kind of revenues are generated by the content type, and several
other relevant factors depending on the relevant item such as suitable handset
penetration rates, average monthly revenues per user, the regional splits of
revenues, the total amount of traffic, etc. For the largest carrier groups it
reveals footprints and subscriber counts. The Almanac also includes the
exclusive TomiAhonen Consulting index of 30 most advanced mobile telecoms
markets ranked, as well as the 25 countries where 3G has been most widely
adopted.

* Note: ‘Regionally’ charts all use the same 8 region split that the Almanac
and PhoneBook and Forecast series from TomiAhonen Consulting has used. It
separates the rich parts of Asia from the Emerging World parts (ie numbers from
rich and advanced mobile market Japan are not averaged into numbers from poor
Asian countries like India or Bangladesh). The 8 regions are: North America;
West Europe; East Europe; Asia-Pacific Advanced; Asia Emerging Countries;
Middle East; Africa; Latin America. Australia and Oceania is counted into the ‘Asia-Pacific
Advanced’ region. Many other resources only split the world by 6 geographic
continents and thus give far less precision in the numbers of the actual
markets where obviously India is very different from Japan, in mobile.

The Tomi Ahonen Almanac 2017 is optimized for
reading on handheld devices and other eBook readers in 14 point text on a page
size of A5. It is an invaluable comprehensive reference resource for
professionals in the industry to carry along for the latest statistical data on
the industry.
